Heartbreak can be really hard, even for Gwen Stefani.
In an interview with the New York Times, Stefani opened up about her shocking split from her husband of 13 years, Gavin Rossdale, and how she has since moved on with her current boyfriend, country superstar Blake Shelton.
Back in February 2015, it was revealed that Stefani and Rossdale were splitting. It wasn't until November that we learned he was allegedly having an affair with their children’s nanny. She didn’t confirm the story to protect their three sons, but did say “it’s a really good, juicy story.”
The singer didn’t refer to Shelton as her boyfriend during the interview, just one of her “co-workers," even though they just made their first public appearance as a couple during an Oscars after-party. She said that her “friendship with him blossomed” because since he was dealing with a public divorce, he was also “going through literally the exact same thing in literally the exact same time frame.”
And throughout all of the changes in her life, Stefani is set to release her third solo album next week. She admitted that singing about happiness is “so fresh” to her and even though she’s thrilled with how things are going for her now, she did admit that she’s “still picking up the pieces every day.”
